Among its most important aspects include: ornate scores in vessels, rays composed entirely of procumbent cells and pores in multiple racemiformes, tending to the dendritic arrangement. The anatomical structure is compared with literature references on the family Leguminosae and genus Mimosa , in a taxonomic and phylogenetic analysis.
